Yeah, I am happy they did this. Changes up the vibe of the show a bit which was starting to get needed.

Good move for Travis, you gotta strike while the iron is vulnerable at rock bottom, but still rich as hell. Gotta lock it down with an anchor baby quickly, though.

Diego Sanchez has a new nickname? Isn't this his third one?
I vaguely remember it being The Nightmare, then The Dream, and now Lionheart.

Also I could watch Diego Sanchez videos all day.

I had asked myself, "What nickname defines you? What defines you as a fighter?" for me it's Woman Chick.

i think light heavyweight was really cool for a while because you had an unbroken continuity between elite fighters like liddell, ortiz, couture etc. who got hosed up by machida, rashad, shogun, rampage, ~~bader~~ etc.

iirc evans/machida was the first title fight between undefeated fighters in ufc history. and machida crushed him to put an exclamation point on the most dominant winning streak i've ever seen, and then he put on an all time great fight with shogun, and then shogun beat him, and then jones killed everyone and then his own career. so no one is taking cormier or anyone else in the division seriously except for maybe rumble because his streak is reminiscent of machida's and he never lost to jones, and now he's retired.

i also really wonder if fighters who are coming up are deliberately avoiding 205 as much as possible because of jones.

while you may be technically right that he was undefeated, rashad would have lost to tito but for a point deduction

rashad may have improved as a fighter but in broad moral value the near-loss to tito ortiz was a sure sign of the turd he would prove himself to be by inflicting his painfully boring and bemusing fights on us for years to come

Rashad's last loss was a decision to Dan Kelly, who is an an elite, ranked middleweight, so I'm not so sure his best years are behind him.

It went Tito (Draw), Bisping (Split Decision), Lidell (KO), Forrest (TKO).

Gotcha. I don't think a 2007 draw with Tito is a bad thing necessarily (even if the fight was terrible). It's not like he got beat like Bader did in 2011. In 2007 Tito had just barely started his slide and MMMSRE was still relatively green. It makes sense that he would struggle with a grizzled vet at the time.

I agree with you on this overall, but Rashad does have some extremely, relentlessly terrible fights that are permanently seared on our brains, and he also is guilty of the high crime of beating the poo poo out of and finishing a fighter who is universally popular on SomethingAwful. He is the proto-Woodley.

E: Mr Nice is right and I should add I mean this in a historical context. Of late Rashad has not looked good or interesting ever in a fight he has won.

For the past 5-6 years Rashad has opted to play pattycake more with his opponents than engage them unless he seriously outclasses them.
